Which part of "as edited (in normalized Old Irish) and translated by McManus (1988)" is unclear? The table has nothing to do with Unicode Standard, but is a quote of the Old Irish as seen in the reference. dab (ᛏ) 15:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

McManus specifies that letter names should by convention be written with capital letters. This is how he gives them on page 3 of his 1991 book, and throughout chapter 3 of his 1991 book. Why should this be problematic? Evertype 15:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

my bad, I apologize. dab (ᛏ) 16:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

And I'm sorry I offended you with the use of the word Vandal. I've tried to make up for it by making stumps for all of the Ogham letter articles. I would like Uath and Ceirt to start out with the same sentence structure, but I've got some other things to do just for the moment. Evertype 16:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

that's very nice, I was irked by the redlinks too :) dab (ᛏ) 16:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

More symbol/alphabet meanings

User_talk:Celticartist says that the content of this website is pretty unique and that wikipedia should link to it rather than absorb the information because it is copyrighted. I'm not completely convinced of the copyright - I think I see most of the info elsewhere. Any opinions?—Mrand ^T-C 14:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

A quick search didn't indicate the info is a full copy-paste from elsewhere, but I don't trust this page at all. It seems to be a lure. The recommened page, the site map, and the contact page are the only ones that don't link to a row of ads for other sites, and once on the site map, clicking on pages supposedly contained in the site link to a page with naught but ads for other "Celtic" sites. This would be enough for me to doubt the whole site, but I distrust the suggested page in particular immediately since it claims the alphabet is also known as "Also known as the Beth, Luis, Nion Alphabet". This is not a historical term; when you hear it it's justified by Robert Graves' erroneous claim that those are the first three letters of the alphabet; a Google search shows the term mainly propagates on Neopagan sites echoing Graves. So if anything, the site would only be good if we wanted to add an example or section on Neopagan revamping. It has no historical value -- no sources either -- so I suspect the page creator plagiarized or compiled it from a book/books divination, albeit not very well since his spelling and punctuation are atrocious.

I see nothing of interest on the page linked. dab (𒁳) 14:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

What ogham font is used here? I have several installed but still see square boxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akari no ryu (talk • contribs) 21:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
